Very nice.  My impression of minis that come with their own scenery, however, is that they're not very popular to the general gamer (ie: the typical potential buyer).

Is she going to make a range, one wants to know. She seems to be a bit of a one-off girl.

The TMP news article says:

Quote
Earlier this year, Australian multi-award-winning painter and sculptor Victoria Lamb embarked on her own range of 28mm miniatures, designed very much with the figure collectors and figure-painting enthusiasts in mind.

So I think one-offs is all she's ever going to be aiming for.

In other news, I notice she's made a Queen Victoria too. People have been clamouring for one sans shotgun or Anglo-African attire for years, so I think this will make a lot of people happy.

This scuplt was first realised for a local event in New-Caledonia in 2006 (the totem is a Kanak one) and was, of course, a limited edition (31).
So, I think it's very far to start a range...
